Lake Manuwai is a lake in the Northland Region of New Zealand. Located near Kerikeri in the Bay of Islands, it is part of the upper Waipapa stream.[1] It is a reservoir created in the 1980's by the Ministry of Works along with Lake Waingaro to supply irrigation to Kerikeri's horticulture industry.[2] In 1990, it was purchased by a cooperative of local horticulturalists and farmers under the name Kerikeri Irrigation Co Ltd.[3]
